Hi The shapiro.test function outputs a value of the W statistic, which should be 1 if the distribution is normal, and a p-value for the test (as the documentation states). I'm a bit confused with some results. I'm getting a W=0.9977 and a p-value=0.1889. I was expecting that a W of 0.9977 would tell me that the distribution is normal so p-value should be small ... What am I missing ?
